As always I am praying...Dear beloved Orthodox Monk:<br />As always I am praying for you every day. I am just a simple woman, so I have a simple question. Is there an age limit for people who are thinking of monasticism?<br /><br />I am sure many peopl ein the world today are atracted to it, simply because the world is, well...more evil than ever. I understand taht it is a calling, and not just a "whim". I understand that God either calls us to life in family or life in monasticism. But I would just like to know about this - and also, although I love your commentareis, (thank you so much for the explanation of the Lords Prayer!! Glory to God for that!) I would love to someday see a monk or nun write something like "A Day In the life of ..." Ivan Ivanovitch is interesting, but not as interesting to me as our wonderful Orthodox nuns and monks.<br />God bless you!<br />Blackincense<br />PS: Please forgive my seplling. I am embarrassed because you are very educated. I have severre dyslexia and I struggle. Please forgive me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
